Trump Congratulates Leader of English-Speaking Country for His Good English

a year ago by threelonmusketeers to c/nottheonion

The meeting was held to foster economic opportunities in Africa.

Donald Trump has praised the president of Liberia for speaking “such good English,” seemingly unaware that Liberia’s official language is, in fact, English.

At my high school, if you were a senior with a job (and it wouldn't affect your graduation) you could take a "work program" class which was supposed to be about personal finance and career goals. But the teacher sucked and every Friday, we'd watch a show tangentially related to jobs. That show? The Apprentice.

She thought Trump was a good businessman and we could learn some lessons. We were also assigned Art Of The Deal. She was not thrilled that we weren't into it.

And let me tell you, anyone who watches that show and reads his book then still walks away thinking Trump is anything but a bumbling idiot is a goddamn fool.

I've hated this dude for 20 years.

My theory is that a general lack of empathy caused his racist mindset combined with his his perceived superiority caused by his political power results in him not giving a fuck.

I’m more interested in why the nation thought that voting for a man who is (at least) politically retarded would have been a great thing in any way, shape or form. Like no one would hire someone who has never touched a computer in their life as CTO of some company; but we would vote Donald trump into one of the most powerful positions in the nation with no real credentials, experience or education in law and governance at all. Baffles me.

You're neglecting a whole side dish of stupidity.

I’m sorry you’re growing up with this nonsense.

me too; but at least you know it’s not you’re fault — for whatever that’s worth.
